The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC20X105SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 105mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration on site.
Pivot points built in: the CA back cover of the MAC20X105SCA takes a clevis pin directly, so swing links and lever arms connect without extra brackets. This double-acting 20 mm bore pushes 157 N and pulls 132 N at 0.5 MPa across a 105 mm stroke. Work to about 8 kg of vertical lift rather than the raw 16 kgf thrust and the mechanism will not strain near stall.
Because the piston magnet is factory standard, a DMSG or CMSG switch reports extension and retraction the day it arrives. The stainless round barrel with its hard-chrome rod also tolerates washdown splash that would rust a painted mini within months. Speed spans 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MA-series datasheet. Barrel: stainless-steel tube (round-body, riveted rolling-packed construction); piston rod: carbon steel with 20µm hard-chrome plating; covers: aluminium alloy. Thread options: PT (blank) / G / NPT. Every MA-series cylinder ships with a built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG position sensors.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 157 N | 132 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 185 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion), MAR (cushioned with integrated F/U mount). Mounting accessories: FA flange, LB foot, SDB pivot; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
Flips small parcels between conveyor lanes on a sortation line, the CA pivot driving the arm through its 105 mm arc.
Swings a safety gate open where reach trucks enter an aisle, 157 N of push working against a light spring latch.
Tilts small parts bins at a press-feed station, cushioned ends settling the bin gently at both limit positions.
Oversize or undersize deliberately: 100 N from the 16 mm bore or 245 N from the 25 mm bore brackets this 157 N class. With the extra 5 mm over a 100 mm model, check rod straightness - side load on a 105 mm stroke can bend the 8 mm rod if the tooling is not guided. When air is lost the rod simply drifts, so specify a pilot check valve if the swing arm must park under load.
Quick checklist
Push 157 N and pull 132 N at 0.5 MPa; push 220 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, stroke 105 mm, rod thread M8x1.25, port 1/8 inch.
It provides a pivot boss that accepts a pin for swing-arm or clevis linkage. Combine it with an SDB pivot bracket or LB foot when the body itself also needs support, keeping the 8 mm rod free of side load.
